We loved this characterful cottage. It was well equipped and comfortable with everything that you would need- one of the best equipped kitchens. We loved all the nautical artefacts which gave the house real character. The location was ideal for exploring the Moray and north Aberdeenshire coasts.

Boatmans is lovely, clean, well equipped cottage and close to amenities. Added bonus of a raised decking and seating area at the side/rear of the cottage with wonderful views. It's in an ideal location for exploring the Moray coast. Kevin, the owner, was very helpful and I would highly recommend Boatmans Cottage.
